Having just picked up a trio and plaque to a member of this battalion killed that day, I wonder if any forum members might have details on the unit's participation in this battle?

Cheers,

Terry

Hi

Attack on Hillside Work, Vis-en-Artois. If you PM me your email address I'll send you a copy of the CO's report. Might also have a Corps map

Regards

Martin

If Martin doesn't have maps I have the divisional maps for the attack. Not as much detail (the CO's report will give you more than any diaries) otherwise as most of my stuff is for April. Same idea - PM me.

Thanks, guys. I will pm you. I note that this fellow's medal index card states his unit as 2nd Bn (his arrival in F/F was 1 April,1915) while the 5th Bn didn't arrive on the continent until 20 May. Obviously he must have transferred to the 5th in time to lose his life.

Cheers,

Terry
